Primary 1&2 Literacy Mrs MacPherson January 2018
Why Literacy? Literacy is fundamental to any child's development. Important for children to be immersed in a literacy rich environment e.g. develop language skills (EAL), communication and social skills, creativity and curiosity, negotiating and problem solving skills.
Literacy skills are developed through Listening and Talking Reading Writing. Literacy is taught as a stand alone subject at least 4 days a week and skills are enhanced and developed within and through other curricular areas.
Listening and Talking Skills in listening and talking are fostered through class and group discussions, detailed exercises, games, drama and in other areas of the curriculum. Children will give talks to classmates and will practise giving and following instructions.
Reading In Primary 1 and 2, children are taught sounds through our phonics programme Literacy Rich . This programme also includes the teaching of common words.
